The end of an era has arrived. We are facing the last working week of the Ecuadorian communicator Alfonso Espinosa de los Monteros, who is leaving television after a long-winded career spanning nearly 56 years. In fact, in 2014, the guinness organization certified Don Alfonso’s record as the newscaster with the longest years continuously on the air for his tenure, at the time, on the great newscast broadcast (ecuavisa) for 47 years and 83 days.

‘What should I do after my last news broadcast?’: Don Alfonso asks what to do when he retires and these are his fans’ suggestions

Certainly, Espinosa de los Monteros has been a frontline witness of the most important moments in Ecuador’s history, as well as world events. Apparently, the 81-year-old journalist is leaving some big shoes to fill and just days after his last broadcast, on May 1, it has not yet been announced who his replacement would be in the news segment where he appears as something of a perpetual authority figure.

These are the anchors of news that ecuavisa you currently have and can be profiled instead if needed.
